Samsung could let users build their own Galaxy phone apps with AI — here's why that matters

Samsung Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus.

Samsung is really pushing hard to bring AI to its phones and make the tools easily available for the general public. In the future, that might also include the ability to install your own AI-generated apps directly on your Galaxy phone.Speaking to TechRadar, Won-Joon Choi, Samsung's head of mobile experience, said the company is exploring the possibility of bringing vibe coding to Galaxy phones. Choi noted that, "Right now we’re limited to premade tools, but with vibe coding, users could adjust their favorite apps or make something customized to their needs."For those unsure, vibe coding is an AI feature that lets you hand off different coding tasks to artificial intelligence. Essentially, you tell the AI what sort of result you want, and it will be able to build a piece of software to facilitate it. All without you needing to learn how to write any of the code yourself.

The ability to create and use apps yourself, to suit your own personal needs, would be the ultimate personalization tool for your phone.
